    I can see many listeners of all ages finding comfort across its eleven songs, bridging angst and hope as they navigate personal crises. Not only did Pierce The Veil understand the assignment, but they delivered it with almost flawless execution.

    They’re making bigger leaps than ever. Even their more familiar-sounding songs show signs of metamorphosis.

    For fans looking for something akin to the hyperactive energy of “King for a Day,” the fast-paced “Death of an Executioner” comes close, while not hitting the same level of earworm immediacy. The album is just diverse enough to show some evolution, while harkening back to key moments from their past.

    Much like contemporaries Sleeping with Sirens and Bring Me the Horizon, they've changed with the times -- for better or worse, depending on the fan -- and the results are no less immediate and impactful.

    The Jaws of Life sets itself apart by not really doing anything memorable or interesting. In fact, it doesn't do much at all besides existing. It neither follows trends nor tries its hand at anything original.

    Surprised to see the boys going in a more grunge direction. They pulled it off though!
